Empty out the hot water and add 15g of freshly ground coffee to your French Press. Grind size should be medium.
Step 3:
Start the timer and pour water evenly over the grounds. Fill water to the top (240ml).

Give it a good stir to optimise the extraction. Place the lid back on and wait.
Step 5:
At 4 minutes, take the lid off and remove the crust with two spoons.
Step 6:
Place the lid back on and press the plunger down slowly all the way to the bottom.
Step 7:
